Deconstruction

·        

“   "I believe that leaving religious status quo unquestioned is potentially destructive. The word destructive is often associated with the word deconstructive, but the association is erroneous. Deconstruction is not destruction, it is hope. It arises from the belief that sometimes our constructed laws get in the way of unseen justice, our undeconstructed words get in the way of communication, our institutions get in the way of the purposes for which they were constructed, our formulations get in the way of meaning, our curricula get in the way of learning. In those cases one must deconstruct laws, words, institutions, formulations, or curricula in the hopes that something better will appear once the constructions become obstructions have been taken apart.” – Brian McLaren
